Navigating Tariffs and Supply Chain Challenges: How Micron Corporation Supports OEMs with Onshoring and Cost-Effective EMS Solutions

As global trade dynamics shift and tariffs continue to impact the electronics industry, OEMs are seeking resilient, cost-effective manufacturing solutions. Micron Corporation, based in Norwood, Massachusetts, stands out as a trusted partner, offering comprehensive onshore electronic manufacturing services (EMS) and strategic parts sourcing to help OEMs navigate these challenges.

The Current Tariff Landscape

In 2025, the U.S. has implemented significant tariffs on imported goods, including a baseline 10% tariff on most imports and higher rates on specific countries. While semiconductors are exempt, products containing them, such as smartphones and laptops, are not.  These tariffs have disrupted global supply chains, leading companies like Hasbro to reconsider their manufacturing strategies.

Micron Corporation’s Onshoring Advantage

Micron Corporation offers a robust solution for OEMs looking to mitigate tariff impacts through onshoring. With over 40 years of experience, Micron provides::

  • Advanced SMT Assembly: Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment like the MY200 and MY300 SMT Pick and Place machines, Micron ensures high-precision assembly.
  • Through-Hole and Mixed Technology: Expertise in various assembly techniques allows for flexibility in manufacturing complex products.
  • Prototyping and Low-Volume Production: Micron supports product development from concept to production, accommodating small batches and prototypes.
  • Electromechanical Assembly: Comprehensive services include complete product assembly, testing, labeling, and packaging. 

By manufacturing domestically, OEMs can reduce exposure to international tariffs, improve supply chain reliability, and enhance communication with their manufacturing partner.

Strategic Parts Sourcing for Cost Savings

Micron’s industry expertise extends to strategic sourcing of electronic components, ensuring cost-effective procurement without compromising quality. Our established relationships with suppliers and understanding of the global market enable us to navigate component shortages and price fluctuations effectively.
